Has anyone had any experience of using one? does it coexist with kinetics boxes okay as we already have one of them.It also uses its own telnet application and I would like more info on its facilities etc. How does it compare to NCSA telnet? As far as I know nobody in the UK has got one but of course the states usually get these new products earlier so I hope someone out there has used one. Also if Cayman systems subscribe to this bulletin board, the glossy shows a diagram which implies that any DecNet file server can act as a appleshare file server WITHOUT any software residing on that server. The Gator box apparently does every translation needed. Any information would be appreciated. gino bellavia Dept of Computer Science Aston University Birmingham UK
